Committing one record on a layout when there are multiple fields?

I have a signature capture screen with two signature containers. Either one is hidden on entry based on $$OpenSigTab variable from a previous layout. If I fill out Sig1 and commit records the previous layout shows Sig1 and its signature. If I then go in and sign Sig2 and commit records it commits both Sig1 and Sig2 but now Sig1 is an empty field.

How can I set it up to where I only commit records based on $$OpenSigTab variable?

Alrighty so I got it sorta figured out and there maybe issues with it. So I have it set to OpenSigCaptureWindow and set what contents are already in Sig1 if Sig2 gets opened and vice versa as variable. These variables are then set into the containers on the new window so that it is saving the same Sig1 when doing Sig2.

What you describe does not fit the expected behavior of having two separate container fields. (A "container" is one type of field.) Nor that you would get if you used container field, but with a different record for each signature.

If one signature overwrites the other, you are inserting the signature image file into the same field of the same record. Either that, or a script performed by a script trigger is clearing a field or reverting a record when you commit records--both would require creating a specific script or script step to do that and setting up a script trigger to perform it.

PS I support an iPad based solution that captures up to three signatures for a given record. committing records is not an issue and the signature of one user never overwrites the signature of another. In each case, the signature is inserted into the same container field, but each into a different record all related to the same parent record--which happens to be a school attendance record for a charter home school.

Is there a copy of your file that you can share? Please strip out any actual signatures or other sensitive data before you share the file if you choose to do that.

Some screen shots of your signature layout(s) taken while in layout mode might also reveal important details about your design.
